Tomahawk!

I've got the hankerin' for getting my black belt ninja tomahawk throwing badge. I'm looking for input on an inexpensive basic tomahawk for throwing at a target in the ol' backyard. I want to start with a wood handled style I think, then may progress to some of the fancy tacti-cool styles. I envision it as being something I can throw and fight with if the need ever comes.

I don't own one, but I'd like to eventually. I know a couple guys that carried them overseas and spoke very highly of them. I wouldn't have the same uses, but still I would like one for the hell of it. I've only ever looked at the very expensive one, so hopefully I'll get some ideas from this thread.

Proven combat techniques may not be flashy and may require a bit more physical effort on the part of the shooter. Further, they may not win competition matches, but they will help ensure your survival in a shooting or gunfight on the street. ~Paul Howe

I carried a GG&G Battle Hawk in A-Stan,virtually indestructable as it is all steel,but pricey at @ 200.00 you might want something cheaper,check ebay lot of Marines returning and selling their gear,alot of us carried Tomahawks.

+1 for Cold Steel. Reasonably priced and tough (not to mention sharp). I would second the Trench Hawk if you want something modern looking, otherwise the Norse Hawk is another good choice for combat or throwing. A hammer poll will add significant weight to the Hawk so I wouldn't bother, unless you want the added utility of being able to drives nails or stakes.

Cold Steel Trail Hawk for me here. I have 2. One for general throwing in the yard and the other I keep strapped to my pack in the trunk.
edit: Mine seems to have taken the abuse of throwing and general use(i actually use the hammer on the thing). It was right about $22 IIRC each when I got mine.
